How I use AI every day to ship websites in half the time
My real setup with Claude, Cursor and a couple of agents that save me hours: from wireframe to deploy in record time without losing quality.
Two years ago, a presentation landing took me about 40 hours of work. Today, those same 40 hours get me the complete landing, multi-language, with tests, animations and tight technical SEO. It’s not magic: it’s the AI stack that has become invisible in my day-to-day.
Here’s the setup as-is, no hype.
The rule that changes everything: partner, not autopilot
People who try AI and get disappointed usually fall into one of two extremes: either they ask the AI to do the whole project (and give up when it hallucinates) or they don’t use it and waste hours. The sweet spot is working as a pair: I drive, AI does the manual work.
My stack in 2026
- Claude Opus 4.7 for architectural reasoning and review.
- Cursor as editor with Claude Sonnet 4.6 integrated for quick edits.
- Claude Code for terminal tasks: massive refactors, migrations, generating tests.
- A custom agent in GitHub Actions that reviews every PR before I do.
The real flow
When I start a client project, the first hour is usually a conversation with Claude: I pass the brief, ask for proposed architecture, doubts I should resolve with the client before touching code, and a first skeleton.
Once I get the OK, Claude Code generates the initial structure — routes, base components, i18n configuration, Resend, Zod schemas. What used to take me half an afternoon now takes 20 minutes.
From there I work in Cursor asking for specific changes. The key is giving it exact context: relevant files, expected behavior, examples from the repo.
What I do NOT delegate
- Product decisions. AI doesn’t know who you sell to or what differentiates you.
- Emotional design. The micro-interactions that make something “feel premium” remain my decision.
- Brand copy. I set the tone and then expand it with AI.
Result for the client
Projects move faster (from 6 weeks to 3, in many cases) without quality dropping — on the contrary, because I have more time to iterate on design. And transparency is total: I explain to the client how I work and what tools I use.
